SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD. 



INTRODUCTION. 



PUBLICATIONS. 



The preparation of publications relating to the survey of the natural oyster bars 
of Maryland has been divided between the Government and the State in accordance 
with the laws authorizing the work and the natural division of the surveying operations 
of the cooperating forces. 

The part prepared under the direction of the Superintendent of the Coast and 
Geodetic Survey consists of this publication and a series of large-scale charts. The 
charts show all legal boundaries of natural oy.ster bars within the waters opened up for 
leasing with Anne Arundel County and the location of all landmarks (Coast and 
Geodetic Survey triangulation stations) used in connection with the delineation of 
these boundaries. This publication gives a technical description of the oyster-bar 
boundaries and landmarks shown on the charts, and includes the report of the represent- 
ative of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. 

The part to be publi.shed by the ShfeU Fish Commission will include a report of 
the work executed by the commission under the provisions of the oyster-culture laws 
of Maryland, descriptions of oyster investigations and the delimitation of oyster bars, 
and other important legal and scientific information. 

COOPERATION OF THE CO.^ST .\ND GEODETIC SURVEY. 

The work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, as the name of the service indicates, 
includes a .survey of the coasts of the United States made on a geodetic basis. This 
has involved the gradual construction of a great framework of interstate triangulation 
for use as a foundation for detail hydrographic and topographic surveys, from which 
there has been compiled and published a complete set of charts of the coasts of the 
United States, including all waters of Maryland where oy.sters grow. This existing 
triangulation, hydrography, and topography is essential for a correct and practical 
survey of natural oyster bars; and it being one of the fundamental functions of the 
Coast and Geodetic Survey to furnish such data for all surveying, charting, and 
other allied purposes within the area of the operations of the service, the cooperation 
of the Coast and Geodetic Survey with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission is a 
practical and useful development^of Government work.

1 6 Survey of Oysicr Bars, Aiwc Arundel County, Md. 

The law of. the State of Marjdand, passed March 9, 1842, authorizing officers of 
the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey to enter upon the lands within the State limits 
for the purposes of the Survej-, is as follows: 

AN ACT concerning the survey of the coast of Maryland. 

Section i. Be U enacted by the general assembly of Maryland, 'Cas.t it shall and may be lawful 
for aii\' person or persons eniploj-ed under and by virtue of an act of the Congress of the United »States, 
* * * at anv time hereafter to enter upon lands within this State for the purpose of exploring, 
surveying, triangulating, or leveling, or doing any other matter or thing which may be necessary to 
effect the objects of said act, and to erect any works, stations, buildings, or appendages requisite for 
that purpose, doing no unnecessary injury to private or other property. 

Sec. 2. And be it enacted. That in case the person or persons employed under the act of Congress 
aforesaid can not agree with the owners or possessors of the land so entered upon and used as to the 
amount of damage done thereto by rea.son of the removal of fences, cutting of trees , or injury to the 
crop or crops growing on the same, it shall and may be lawful for the said parties or either of them to 
apply to the chief justice for the time being, or one of the associate judges of the judicial district in 
■which such land may be situated, who shall thereupon appoint three disinterested and judicious free- 
holders, residents of the same judicial district, to proceed with as much despatch as possible to the 
examination of the matter in question and the faithful assessment of the damages sustained by the 
owners or possessors aforesaid, and the said freeholders or a majority of them, having first taken and 
subscribed an oath or affirmation before the chief or associate justice aforesaid or other person duly 
authorized to administer the same, that they will well and truly examine and assess as aforesaid, and 
having given five days' notice to both parties of the time of their meeting, shall proceed to the spot, 
and then and there upon their own view and, if required, upon the evidence of witnes.ses (to be by 
them sworn or affirmed and examined), shall assess the said damages, and shall afterwards make report 
thereof and of their proceedings in writing under their hands and seals and file the .same within five 
days thereafter in the office of the clerk of the county in which the land afore.said is situated, subject 
to an appeal by either party to the county court of the said county within ten days after filing as 
aforesaid, and the said report so made as aforesaid, if no appeal as aforesaid be taken, shall be held to 
be final and conclusive as between the said parties, and the amount so assessed and reported shall be

Survey of Oyster Bars, Aime Arnudcl County , Md. 1 7 

CHARTS AND MAPS. 

CHARTS OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. 

The charts" of the natural o_vster bans of "Anne Arundel County and Adjacent 
Waters," published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey from results of surveys of the 
Government in cooperation with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, consist of a 
series of four sheets, covering the west shore of Chesapeake Bay from Fort Carroll to 
Holland Point. They are published on the scale of i part in 20,000 (approximately 
3 /finches to a statute mile), and are constructed on polyconic projections and based 
on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. 

These charts show all oyster bar and other boundaries established by the Com- 
mission, and are certified by them for the purpose of filing in the office of the clerk of 
the circuit court of Anne Arundel County and in the office of the Commis.sion at 
Annapohs, as required by the oyster-culture laws of Maryland. 

In addition to the boundaries, the charts show the location and name of all land- 
marks (U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sur\'ey triangulation stations) used in making the 
survey, together with the hydrography and topography necessary to make the 
technical definitions and delineations of boundaries readily uiyierstandable, both by 
the people engaged in oyster industry and the general public who may become 
interested through leasing of barren bottoms for oyster culture. 

The names of the oyster bars are tho.se used locally, as nearly as could be ascer- 
tained by the hydrographic engineer of the Commission, and are not designated by 
numbers, as might suggest itself on fir.st thought as being the best method when the 
great number of oyster bars in the whole State are considered. By the use of local 
names, it is believed that much confusion will be avoided in the location of oyster bars, 
especially hy tho.se not familiar with charts. 

The corners of the o^-ster bars are numbered from i to the total number of corners 
in each bar under consideration. Where bars adjoni, making one point a corner of two 
or more bars, these points have two or more numbers, each corresponding to the bar in 
which the figure is located. The numbers of the corners correspond with the technical 
and legal descriptions given in this publication under the heading ' ' Boundaries of 
natural oyster bars. ' ' 

The natural oyster bars and landmarks have been grouped in the contents of this 
publication in accordance with the charts upon which they are .shown. To find a par- 
ticular oy.ster bar or landmark which is only known by name, consult the "Contents," 
and the desired chart and general location will be indicated. To find the name of a bar 
or landmark which is only known by location, consult the progress map at the end of 
this publication for the number of the chart on which it is to be found, and then 
examine the known locality on the chart for the name of the bar or landmark in 
question. 

The contours for the depth of water at mean low tide have been taken from the 
hydrographic sheets of the Coa.st and Geodetic Survey at Washington. Four curves 

oFor copies of these charts apply to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at 
Washington, D. C.

were selected as being the most convenient for taking ofi from the original hydrographic 
sheets and the ones of greatest value to those interested in the oyster industry. The 
I -fathom contour (6 feet) and the 5-fathom contour (30 feet) practically include 
all the natural oyster bars surveyed, while the 3-fathom contour (18 feet) furnishes 
the curve of about the average depth. The lo-fathom contour (60 feet) serves in a 
general way to indicate the outer limits of probable oyster culture. 

The boundaries of the waters within the territorial limits of the county and the 
boundaries of waters not within these limits but opened up for the leasing with the 
county are plainly indicated on the charts. A full technical description of these 
boundaries is given in this publication under the heading ' ' Boundaries of county 
waters. ' ' 

The areas in acres of the natural oyster bars were determiued under the direction 
of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission by two independent planiineter meas- 
urements made of the area of the bars as delineated on .the smooth projections of the 
Coast and Geodetic Survey. These areas are given in small figures on the face of the 
chart within the boundaries of the bars. 

The .'Symbols used on the charts for the different kinds of boundaries, triangulation 
stations, contours of depth of water, etc., require no other explanation than that given 
in the notes on the charts. 

PROJECTIONS. 

The polyconic projections, like the charts which are described in the preceding 
section, were all constructed by draftsmen of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. These 
draftsmen also plotted the sextant positions on the smooth projections which determine 
the location of the legal boundaries of the natural oyster bars as delineated bj' the Shell 
Fish Commission. 

A copy of each of these projections, with all the plotted positions of triangu- 
lation stations, shore line, sextant positions, and boundaries of oyster bars, was made 
under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the commission, by pricking 
through with a sharp needle the intersections of the projection lines and all other 
points as plotted on the original sheets. 

These projections (in duplicate) are the original records of all natural 03\ster bar 
and other boundaries established by the commission. One set of these projections is 
filed in the archives of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington and the other 
.set is filed in the office of the Shell Fish Commission at Annapolis.

oyster culture. 

Besides indicating the amount of work done by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 
connection with the work of the Shell Fish Commission, the progress map will be of 
special value for index purposes to engineers and others, searching for the particular

BOUNDARIES OF COUNTY WATERS. 

WATERS WITHIN TERRITORIAL LIMITS OF THE COUNTY. 

The laws relating to oyster culture under which the Marjdand Shell Fish Commis- 
sion is executing its survey, provide that "no person shall be permitted, by lease, 
assignment, or in any other manner, .to acquire a greater amount of land than ten acres 
situated within the territorial limits of any of the counties, or one hundred acres in any 
other place." 

The boundary line" between the waters "within the territorial limits" of Anne 
Arundel County and the waters in ' ' any other place, ' ' as established by the Shell Fish 
Commissiou and delineated on the charts and the smooth projections of the Coast and 
Geodetic Survey, is technically described and defined as follows :

WATERS CONTIGUOUS TO THE COUNTY. 

The oj'ster-culture laws of Maryland provide that a true and accurate delineation 
of all natural oy.ster bars shall be made on copies of charts of the United States Coast 
and Geodetic Survey, " which said copies shall be filed in the office of the said Commis- 
sioners in the city of Annapolis; " and "in the office of the clerks of the circuit courts 
for the respective counties wherein the grounds so designated may lie." 

For the purpose of carrying out the latter part of this section of the law, and for 
the purpo.se of establishing the limits of the oyster-culture area to be opened up for the 
leasing with Aiuie Arundel County, a boundary line between the waters contiguotis to, 
but not within the territorial limits of Anne Arundel County and the waters contiguous 
to, but not within the territorial limits of adjacent counties, has been established by the 
Shell Fish Commission. This boundary line" has been delineated on the charts of the 
natural oyster bars published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and is technically 
described and defined as follows: 

Commencing at a point defined by the intersection of the center line of Brewerton Channel and a 
straight line between North Point (Old Tower) and a point defined by latitude 39° 09' 59.3" and 
longitude 76° 28' 39.7''', situated on Rock Point; thence along the center line of Brewerton Channel and 
a continuation of the same line to a point defined by latitude 39° 09' I0.6" and longitude 76° 21' 00.0", 
situated about 3-1 V miles '' east '' of Seven P'oot Knoll Light and 3y^ miles .southeast of Craighill Channel 
Light (Front Range); thence due south in a straight line to a point defined by latitude 39° 03' 30.0" 
and longitude 76° 21' 00.0", situated about 2% miles from Baltimore Light, nearly on a straight line 
between Baltimore Light and Love Point Light; thence in a straight line to a point defined by 
latitude 39° 00' 57.2" and longitude 76° 21' 34 .0", situated about \{\ miles east of Sandy Point Light;

LIMITS OF DREDGING .A.REA ADJACENT TO CRAIGHILL CH.ANNEL. 

The oyster laws of the State of Mar^-laud define the limits of the area adjacent to 
Craighill Channel in which dredging for oysters is prohibited, and the boundaries of 
the natural oyster bars established by the Maryland Shell Fish Commission in that

vicinity have been delineated accordingly. The law defining the boundaries of the 
prohibited area is as follows: 

[Code of Maryland, article 72, section 50,] 

Any person dragging, raking, or dredging for oysters within five hundred yards of either edge of 
the channel at the mouth of the Patapsco River, known as the Craighill Channel, extending from 
Seven Foot Knoll to the mouth of Magothy River, or within five hundred yards of either edge of the 
cut-off connecting the Brewerton and Craighill channels, shall forfeit his boat or vessel; and it shall 
be lawful for any justice of the peace of the county or city in which such person shall be arrested to 
try such person, and on conviction to condemn said boat or vessel and sell the same on five days' 
notice, and fine the said offender a sitm of not less than five dollars, nor more than twenty-five dollars, 
for each and everj' offense; and said justice of the peace shall pay over one-half of said fines and 
forfeitures to the informer, and the other half to the school board of said county or city. 

LIST OF NATURAL OVSTER BARS WITHIN DREDGING AREA OF COUNTY. 

The natural oyster bars open under the exi,sting laws of Maryland for tongiug or 
dredging, as the case may be, are not so classed and shown on the published charts, as 
it is a matter more or less subject to change liy legislation independent of the oyster- 
culture laws of Maryland. 

However, the Commission in establishing the legal boundaries of the oyster bars 
have so fixed the limits of certain bars that in every case their boundaries are within or 
coincident with the boundary line between the tonging and dredging areas. In estab- 
lishing these boundaries, the Commission have adopted the tonging-dredging limits 
furnished to them through the courtesy of the Commander of the State Fishery Force. 

Most of the natural oyster bars open for dredging are of large area but few in 
number, and a complete list of the dredging bars in ' ' Anne Arundel Count}' and 
Adjacent Waters," is given below to facilitate the search of anyone desiring to locate 
them on the published charts:

BOUNDARIES OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. 

EXPLANATION OF DESCRIPTIONS OF BOUNDARIES. 

The natural oyster bars of Anne Arundel County are 91 in number, and their 
total area as marked out by buoys placed by the hydrographic engineer of the com- 
mission is 33,666 acres. As provided by law, the limits of the oyster bars are all 
straight lines, but they inclose areas of all shapes from triangles to complicated nine- 
sided figures, and of all sizes from 4 acres in the rivers to 7,548 acres in the bay. 



22 SKJ'vey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Md. 

The sides vary iu length from 93 to 7,529 yards, and in some cases the corners of the 
boundaries are practically at the triangulation stations from which they are located, 
while in other instances they are over 10,000 yards from the landmarks most avail- 
able for the purposes of fixing their positions. 

The varied characteristics of the legal boundaries of the oyster bars indicated by 
the above statement, together with the complicated requirements of the law under 
which the survey has been executed, and ihe magnitude of the work with the con- 
sequent need of fixed and uniform methods, has made the problem of describing the 
boundaries, one of considerable difficulty and importance. 

The boundaries of the natural oyster bars of Anne Arundel County, as estab- 
lished by the Shell Fish Commission and delineated on the Coast and Geodetic Survey 
charts and projections, are technically defined and described by a method somewhat 
different from that used in other oyster surveys. But it is believed that the forms 
finally adopted will fulfill all needs of the survey, and that they can be continued, 
with slight modifications to the end of the work. 

The descriptions have been arranged in tabular form, thus avoiding many hundred 
repetitions of the same words by making one explanation of the tables .sufficient for all 
oyster bars in the county. 

At the top of each tabular form is given the legal name of the natural oyster bar 
to be described, its general localitv, and the number of the chart on which its legal 
boundaries are .shown. 

The first column under the heading of ' ' Corner of bar ' ' gives the number corre- 
.sponding to the corner of the boundary as .shown on the charts and to the number on 
the buoy marking the actual corner of the bar. The numbers of the corners have been 
assigned by naming the southernmo.st point No. i , thence proceeding in a clock-wise 
direction around the bar; but where a corner of one bar is identical with the corner of 
one or more other bars, only the number of the corner of the oyster bar being described 
in the table is given in this column. 

The second and third columns under the headings of ' ' Latitude ' ' and ' ' Longitude ' ' 
give the geographic pcsitions of the corners. These positions have been adopted by 
the commission as the primary technical definition of the corners, and should be consid- 
ered as final in case of adi.spute arising from discrepancies caused by other means of loca- 
tion. The latitudes and longitudes given in these columns are based on the United States 
.standard datum of the Coa.st and Geodetic Survey, and the points thus defined can be 
relocated from distant triangulation stations of the Survey, even though all the land- 
marks and buoys originally used for their location have been destro3'ed by natural 
causes or by the acts of vandals desiring to defeat the purposes of the oyster-culture law. 

The fourth and fifth columns, under the general heading of ' ' True bearings ' ' " and 
the specific headings ' ' Forward ' ' and ' ' Back, " give bearings measured from a true north 
and south line. The three " Forward" bearings are from the corner of the boundary 
designated in the first column to the triangulation stations named on the corresponding 
lines in the last column, and the three "Back" bearings are from these same stations 
in the last column to the corresponding corner of boundarj' in the first column. The 

oThe mean magnetic declination in Anne Arundel County in 1907 was 5° 45' west of north and 
the annual increase 3'.

difference iu minutes of arc between the forward and back bearings shown in some cases 
is actual and not accidental, and is due to the fact that the computations took into 
account the spheroidal shape of the earth. 

The sixth column under the heading of "Distance" gives the three computed dis- 
tances in 5'^ards from the corner of the bar noted in the iirst column to the triangulation 
stations named on the corresponding lines in the last column, and vice versa. 

The seventh and last column, under the heading of " U. S. C. & G. S. Triangulation 
Station,"" gives the names of the landmarks from which were computed the correspond- 
ing "I^atitude," "Longitude," "True bearing," and "Distance" of the "Corner of 
the bar" designated in the first column. A full description of the location and mark- 
ings of these triangulation stations is given in another part of this publication, under 
the heading of " Descriptions of landmarks." 

SURVEYING METHODS FOR RELOCATION OF BOUND.\RIES. 

There are a number of methods that can be used in the relocation of the actual 
boundaries of the natural oj^ster bars as technically described in this publication and 
delineated on the published charts of the Coa.st and Geodetic Survey. 

The following brief descriptions of five of these more or less different methods 
assume a certain amount of experience and knowledge on the part of the engineer in 
the particular kind of surveying under consideration, and are only intended as reminders 
of ways and means that can be u.sed. 

There are two problems that are likely to present themselves to those interested in 
the boundaries of natural oy.ster bars. One, to determine whether the buoys marking 
the corners have been dragged or otherwise moved from their correct positions, and the 
other, to relocate or reestablish a buoy at the point from which it was removed. The 
different ways of solving these two problems partly depend upon the instruments 
possessed by the engineer and his assistants, and partly on his training and experience. 

(i) Triangtdation. — This method is the one that will give the greatest accuracy, 
but on account of its requiring special data and instruments, and being an operation 
rarely used by engineers not engaged in geodetic surveying, it is recommended only for 
cases in dispute that can not be settled satisfactorily by some other method. An 
explanation of this class of work would be too long for a report of this sort, and those 
not familiar with this method are referred to the publications on the subject by the 
Coast and Geodetic Survey. 

(2) Hydrograpliic. — This method is the most simple and satisfactory one that can 
be adopted if the surveyor can obtain the use of the necessary instruments and assist- 
ants. -It is the one best suited for the work of the engineers of the Commission in 
locating corners of boundaries, as it gives results of the accuracy ordinarily required 
and is rapid in execution. Besides, it has the advantage of being available whenever 
three triangulation stations of suitable relative positions are visible from the off-shore 
points needing relocation. 

Most navigators and others familiar with the use of a sextant are well acquainted 
with the graphic three-point method of fixing a position on water, and only a brief 
description of the operation will be stated. 



"Geographic positions of these triangulation stations can be obtained by application to the Snper- 
inleiident of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington. 



24 Survey of Oyster Bars, Aiiiic Aniiidcl Comity, Aid. 

lu the case where there is only one engineer havang a single sextant, the three- 
point method can be used, but not until the two angles determining the position of any 
buoy have been calculated from the "Forward bearing" given in the tabular forms 
describing the boundaries of the oyster bars. For example, take ' ' Traces Hollow ' ' bar, 
described on page — , and assume that ' ' Corner No. 3 " is to be examined as to its 
position. The angle between the two landmarks ' ' Cool ' ' and ' ' Weems, ' ' as determined 
Jrom the forward bearings from this corner, is loi ° 02' and the angle between ' ' Weems ' ' 
and "Field" is 68° 52'. Having these two angles, the engineer proceeds to the buoy 
of doubtful location and measures the actual sextant angles between the landmarks for 
which the calculations were made. If the measured and calculated angles do not agree, 
the buoy is not in its correct position and the boundary corner must be relocated. 
This is accomplished by moving the boat about until a point is reached where the angles 
do agree, and this point being the desired location, the liuoy can be placed in its correct 
po.sition. 

If the engineer can obtain the use of both a sextant and a three-arm protractor 
(" position finder"), the availability of the hydrographic method is increased, as the use 
of the protractor is essential in ca.se of the washing away or destruction of one or more of 
the landmarks originally used in describing the boundaries. Under these circumstances, 
an}- three landmarks of .suitable relative po.sitions that are visible from the point to be 
located can be utilized. For example, the engineer can proceed to the buoy of doubtful 
position and measure the two adjacent sextant angles between the three landmarks 
selected. These two angles are set on the three-arm protractor and the actual position 
of the buoy plotted on the chart by .shifting the protractor about until the edges of each 
of the three arms pa.sses through the center of the symbols on the chart marking the 
position of the three landmarks .selected. The center of the hub of the protractor will 
indicate on the chart the actual position of the buoy, and if the point thus obtained 
does not coincide with the true positions of the corner of the boundary as given on the 
chart, the surveyor can proceed to locate the buoy correctly by reversing the operation. 
This is done by placing the center point of the hub of the protractor over the corner of 
the boinidary in question and measuring on the chart the two adjacent protractor angles 
between the three selected landmarks. One of the angles thus obtained is set on the 
sextant and the boat moved about until the two landmarks are .shown by the sextant to 
subtend the .same angle obtained from the protractor. The second angle is then placed 
on the .sextant and the same operation gone through, and so on, first using one angle 
on the .sextant then the other, until a point is reached where both okserved .sextant 
angles are practically identical with the protractor angles. The point thus located is 
the desired one and the buoy can be placed to mark the true position of the corner of 
the boundary in question. 

If the engineer possesses two .sextants and a protractor this problem is far easier 
of solution, as the two angles can be placed on separate sextants and the ob.server can 
quickly find the desired point where the}' agree with the protractor angles by using one 
.sextant after the other without the need of resetting either. 

If there are two observers, two sextants, and a protractor, it can be seen that the 
best conditions for both rapid and accurate hydrographic locations of points are attained; 
in fact, this is the method by which the buoys at the corners of the boundaries were 
originally placed by the hydrographic engineer to the Commission. 



Survey of Oyster Bars, Aiiiie Arundel County, Md. 25 

(3) Magnetic bearings from offsliore. — This method of fixing a position on water is 
a simple and well-known one in navigation. It is available to anyone having a boat 
compass, and will be of special use to the State Fishery Force in investigating cases 
where buoys are supposed to have been moved for illegal purposes. 

In the case where a buoy is supposed to have been moved from its true position 
the observer takes compass bearings to the three landmarks given in the last column of 
the tables opposite the boundary corner in question. These bearings are then corrected 
for the local declination," and if the results agree with the published bearings, the buoy 
is correctly located. 

In the case where the buoy is not in its correct position, or has disappeared alto- 
gether, the desired point can be determined by maneuvering the vessel until the 
corrected bearings agree with the ones in the tabular descriptions, when the buoy can 
be anchored in its proper location. 

In the case where the landmarks for which the bearings are published have been 
destroj-ed or washed away, any landmark whose position is indicated on the charts can 
be used by getting their bearings directly from the chart by parallel rulers or a pro- 
tractor and then applying them in the same manner as the ones published in the tables. 

(4j Magnetic bearings frotn sliore. — This method will be of special value to engi- 
neers having an ordinarj' surveyor's compass. The compa.ss can be set over the point 
marking a " triangulation station" on shore, the name of which is given in the last 
column oppasite the "corner" in question. The instrument is then set at the corre- 
sponding "back" bearing (corrected for local magnetic declination), given in the fourth 
column of the tables opposite the "corner" in question and on line with the name of 
the "station" being occupied. The direction thus determined will give one range on 
which the desired point must be located. The compass can then be moved to a second 
triangulation station and another range located in a similar manner. The intersection 
of these two range lines will give the desired point; but in general it should be checked 
by an additional range line determined from a third station. 

(5) Horizontal angles measured at landmarks. — This process is a modification of 
the triangulation method, and will be u.seful to engineers who have a tran.sit and desire 
considerable accuracy. 

The instrument is placed over a "triangulation station," the name of which 
appears in the last column of the tabular description opposite the "corner" in ques- 
tion. The telescope is then pointed to the landmark indicated in the "Description of 
landmarks" as having a direction of 0° 00' 00" from the triangulation station being- 
occupied by the transit. The tabular description of the boundaries is next examined 
and the "back" bearing of the questionable boundarj' "corner," from the landmark 
being occupied, is taken out. The angle calculated from the "back" bearing and the 
bearing given in parentheses alongside the zero landmark in the "Description of 
landmarks" is then laid off on the transit and a range line established, on which the 
de.sired point must be located. A similar process is then carried on at a second station, 
and so on until the position of the buoy is satisfactorily fixed.

LANDMARKS (U. S. COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY TRIANGULATION 

vSTATlONSJ. 

EXPLANATION OF DESCRIPTION OF L.'^NDMARKS. 

The oyster-culture laws of Maryland autliorizitig the survey of natural oyster bars 
provide for " an accurate report of said .survey, setting forth such a description of laud- 
marks as may be necessary to enable the said Board, or their successors, to find and 
ascertain the boundary lines of said natural oyster beds, bars, and rocks, as shown b}- 
delineation on the maps and charts." The law of the United States authorizing the 
cooperation of the Department of Commerce and Labor in the survey of natural oyster 
bars of Maryland provides for the erection of ' ' such structures as may be necessary to 
mark the points of triangulation, so that the same may be used for such future work of 
the Coast and Geodetic Survey as the said Bureau may be hereafter required to perform 
in prosecuting the Government coast survey of the navigable waters of the United 
States located within the State of Maryland." 

Under the provisions of the sections of the laws stated above the markings and 
descriptions of landmarks must be sufficient for the present and future needs of both 
the Government and the State. With this end in view considerable effort has been 
expended in erecting permanent monuments at the triangulation stations and iu the 
proper description of their location. 
330-07 S 



66 Survey of Ovsicr Bars, Aiiiir Aniudcl County, Aid. 

An effort lias been made to arrange the description of stations in a uniform and 
logical manner. The descriptions start with the assumption that the individual seeking 
the station has only an indefinite idea of its location. They then gradually proceed 
from general descriptions of the surroundings of a landmark to the specific details of 
the character of the center and reference markings. An examination of the descrip- 
tions themselves will best indicate the method followed. 

The heading of each description is the name by which the landmark is known and 
designated in all work and records executed by the commission. Where the .same 
name is u.sed for two or more stations, as is the case in several instances in Anne 
Arundel County, the general locality of the station being described is given in paren- 
theses alongside its name. 

In the first paragraph, under the heading of "Locality," is given a description of 
the general locality of the landmark and the serial number of the published chart of 
the oyster bars of Anne Arundel County which best shows its location. The second 
paragraph, under this same heading, furnishes the description of the immediate locality 
of the landmark and refers to the bearing and distance of the cement monument mark- 
ing the reference station, as it is the first object that is likely to catch the eye when the 
immediate vicinity of the desired station is reached. 

Under the heading of "Marks" a description is given of the markings of the 
"observed station" and the "reference station." It will be noted that although the 
"observed station" is the one "occupied" and "observed on" for horizontal angles, 
it is not marked as well as the reference station, and in many instances has only a pine 
stub to indicate its position. This is the case, for the reason that the necessity of inter- 
visibility of triangulation stations usually made it compulsory to locate the.se stations 
on edges of banks and ends of points of land, which in Chesapeake Bay and tributaries 
generally means that they will be washed away in a short period of years. The past 
experience of the Coa.st and Geodetic .Survey in this region showed the necessity of 
reference marks, if the reestablishment of a new framework of triangulation was to be 
avoided in the near future. 

The marks designated in the descriptions as "the center point of triangle on stand- 
ard cement monument" are all exactly alike. They are made out of cement, sand, 
and gravel and are 2 feet long and 8 inches square at top and bottom. Thedr tops are 
all marked with the same bra.ss mold and show a center hole surrounded by a triangle, 
with the letters " M. S. F. C." arranged around the vertex and the letters " U. S. C. S." 
underneath the base of the triangle. All of these monuments have been planted in the 
same manner, with their tops projecting 3 or 4 inches above the surface of the ground. 
As the above facts in reference to the ' ' standard cement monuments ' ' are a constant 
element in all the descriptions, their needless repetition is avoided b}' this one statement. 

It is the expectation that the "reference stations," the character of which is 
explained above, will be used in the near future in the place of the original stations. 
This has been made possible by the careful measurements of direction and distance of 
these stations from the ' ' observed station ' ' which are recorded under the heading of 
. ' ' References. ' ' " 



«To obtain the geographic positions of any of the "observed stations" or of the "reference 
stations," application .should be made to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at 
Washington . 



Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County i Aid. 67 

Under the heading of ' ' References ' ' are given the directions and distances of all 
objects that might be useful in locating the stations when the surface marks can 
not be found. It is also contemplated 'that for general purposes of topography or 
location of boundaries of oyster bars, these references will be sufficient in many cases, 
to relocate the ' ' observed station " or " reference station ' ' when both of them have 
been destroyed but the reference objects remain. 

The first reference object given in the descriptions is always a triangulation station 
visible from the station being described. Its direction is taken as being 0° 00' 00", 
and the directions of all other objects are measured from it as an initial point, the angles 
being taken in a clockwise direction (left to right). 

The true bearing" of the initial object is always given, in parentheses alongside the 
name. This furnishes means for the calculation of the bearings of any of the reference 
objects for the purposes of locating a station by compass bearings, or the relocation of 
corner buoys of oyster-bar boundaries by the method of horizontal angles described 
under the heading of "Boundaries of natural oyster bars." 

The distances in the last column under "References" are given in three different 
units, which vary according to their accuracy. The "miles" are statute miles and 
may be considered only as rotigh estimates. The "yards" are more accurate, but niu.st 
be looked on as results generallj' obtained by pacing or careful estimating. The 
"meters," however, are accurate to the degree indicated by their decimals and in every 
case have been measured with a steel tape.

HOUSE BOAT "OYSTER." 

While arranging to ttiru over the command of the steamer Endeavor, the repre- 
sentative of the Survey, acting under preliminary instructions from the Superintendent, 
was engaged in frequent consultation with the Shell Fish Commissioners in reference 
to the programme of future work. In addition to these duties, he undertook for the 
commissioners the planning and supervision necessary to convert the old side-wheel 
steamer Tliomas L. Wortliley into a house boat for the surveying parties of both the 
Commission and the Government. 

« For copies of these laws see " Introduction " to this publication. 



Survey of Oyster Bars^ Aiinc Arundel County, Md. 103 

The Worltilej, now called the house boat Oyster, was in excellent conditron when 
purchased by the Commission. The keelsons and timbers were sound and the upper 
works strong. After the removal of the old engine and boiler, the house boat was 
docked and her hull thoroughly examined. The outside planking below the water line 
was found in good condition, and although it was recalked, it was done as an additional 
precaution, the hull having been absolutely water-tight from the day of purchase. 

The Oyster is about 135 feet over all and 35 feet in beam. The main deck contains 
living- quarters for 27 men, the officers mess room and the galley. The upper deck has 
II staterooms, 5 for the 3 commissioners and their 2 hydrographic engineers, 4 for 
the Coast Survey officers, i for the representative of the U- S. Bureau of Fisheries, 
and I for the local county oyster commissioner. Besides these rooms, there are located 
on this deck a large drafting room, a laboratory for oyster investigations, and an office 
room. Coal for the two Government launches and the galley is stored in the hold, 
which also contains fresh-water tanks having a capacity of about 7,000 gallons. 
Signal lumber is carried on the main deck aft of the officers' mess room. 

As a whole, the Oyster is plainly and practically equipped for the work to be done. 
She has added much to the amount of the surveying accomplished during the season, 
and the Coast and Geodetic Survey representative greatly appreciates the practical 
advantages furnished to his party by their quarters on the house boat. When the large 
party of the combined surveying forces is taken into consideration with the limited 
accommodations usually obtainable on shore, the attending difficulties of a scattered 
party, the uncertain location and supply of coal and water for launches and sufficient 
lumber for signals, it is easily to be seen that the amount of work accomplished would 
have been reduced greatly, if there had been no such house boat as the Oyster to supply 
all requirements of the surveying operations. 

With reasonable care and repairs, the Oyster will be a valuable asset to the Com- 
mission at the completion of the oyster survey of the State, besides having paid her 
first cost several times over in both quality and quantity of work accomplished. 

ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT. 

The command of the Endeavor was turned over to the hydrographic inspector 
July 9, 1906, and from that date to the commencement of active field work the 
Survey representative was engaged on organization of party, collection of surveying 
data, general supervision of the construction of the house boat, and preparation of 
field equipment. 

Some delay was experienced in completing repairs to the Survey steam launch 
Inspector, and by the difficulties of- obtaining surveying assistants who were qualified 
to receive an appointment undep civil-service rules. In fact, the last field assistant 
did not take his oath of office urftil the middle of October. 

The field organization of the party, when fully completed, remained the same 
during the season, and was as foUdws: 

C. C. Yates, assistant, Coast and Geodetic Survey, and chief of party. 

E. A. Borst, triangulator. 

N. L. Arbuckle, topographic draftsman. 

F. W. Seth, sur\'eynian and computer. 
One launch coxswain. 

One launch engineer. 
Five seamen and hands. 



I04 Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Md. 

Later two additional draftsmen, J. D. Torrey and G. C. Moore, were appointed 
and assigned to duty in the office in Washington, where they were employed on the 
preparation for publication of the charts of natural oyster bars, making in all a party 
of six officers from the Coast and Geodetic Survey engaged on the work. During 
the last weeks of the field work, Mr. Paul C. Whitney, assistant. Coast and Geodetic 
Survey, was assigned to temporary duty in the party in place of Mr. E. A. Borst, 
who resigned. 

The equipment of the party, in addition to the quarters and accommodations on 
the house boat Oyster, consisted of the large Coast and Geodetic Survey steam launch 
Inspector, an excellent whaleboat, a large ship's cutter, and a fishing dory. The 
Survey also furnished a complete outfit of theodolites, levels, sextants, and other instru- 
ments necessary for the work of the Government and State surveying parties, and 
the usual outfit of tools, sails and oars, stationery, etc. 

FIELD WORK. 

The launch hi spec for and outfit were moved to Annapolis on August lo, 1906, on 
which date the actual field work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey party commenced. 

Previous to this time a number of signals had been erected over old Coast and 
Geodetic Survey triaugulation stations on the Severn River by the hydrographic 
engineer of the Commission. By using the triaugulation so established, considerable 
oyster bar location was accomplished. 

After the arrival of the Coast Survey party,' the erection of signals and the 
observations of horizontal angles necessary to establish a framework of triaugulation 
were kept well ahead of the oyster bar locations and other oyster investigations. 

The methods of triaugulation were those established by the Coa.st and Geodetic 
Survey aud require no explanation other than that given bj' the publications of the 
Survey. 

In all there are 123 triaugulation stations involved in the survey of Anne Arundel 
County natural oyster bars. These stations are scattered along the western shore line 
of the bay from Fort Carroll to Holland Point, and are located at intervals frequently 
less than a half and rarely more than a mile apart. The triaugulation was carried on 
with energy aud good judgment, but the scattered condition of the work, composed of 
a mixture of new and old stations, increased the number of observations without the 
usual proportionate increase in number of new stations established. 

After the appointment of a topographic draftsman on September 19, all boat 
sheets for both the hydrographic and oyster investigation parties were prepared and 
much other drafting work was done to facilitate the operations of the commissioners. 
Besides this work, the draftsman checked the computations and kept up the smooth 
projections as far as the new field work permitted. 

Con.siderable difficulty was experienced iu bringing up the computations to the 
immediate requirements of the work, especially iu We.st River and to the south along 
the .shore of the bay, where practically all old triaugulation stations had been washed 
away. This situation was much relieved by the appointment of a survej'man on Octo- 
ber 15, who had received some training in the computing division of the Survey at 
Washington. 



Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel Coun/]\ Mrl. 105 

The operations in the vicinity of Severn and Soutli rivers were completed Sep- 
tember 13, when the house boat Oyster was moved to West River. Up to this time 
the party had lived on shore and suffered man}? of the resulting inconveniences and 
delays due to scattered lodgings, uncertain meal hours, etc. The advantages of the 
house boat were immediately shown in the results, and in spite of much bad weather 
the work in the vicinity of West River was completed and the Oyster moved to Magothy 
River on November 9. Here the house boat remained until the end of the month, when 
she was moved to Bodkin Creek. On December 9 the main body of the field work for 
the season was completed and the Oyster went to Annapolis for the winter. Quarters 
were taken up on shore, the parties reduced in number, and offices established in the 
state house. 

During the following winter the uniini.shed ends of triangulation, construction 
and planting of permanent monuments, and new descriptions of stations, occupied 
about a third of the time of the triangulator. 

Besides the training and as.si.stance required by an entirely new organization, and 
the systematizing of a new class of work, the representative of the Coast and Geodetic 
Survey devoted nuich time and took much interest in the work of the Commission in 
general as affecting both the surveying and other operations of the oyster-culture laws 
of Maryland. 

OFFICE W'ORK. 

After October 15, a greater part of the original computations were made by the 
surveyman of the party and were checked by the triangulator and the topographic 
draftsman. This work included the computations of 166 triangles, 67 geodetic posi- 
tions, and 1,083 back computations of geodetic positions required for the technical 
descriptions of the boundaries of natural oyster bars. These computations, together 
with the making out of the abstract of horizontal angles, the lists of geographic posi- 
tions, the lists of directions, and the reduction to center for 8 eccentric .stations', make 
up a creditable amount of computation for the short season's work. 

The drafting con.sisted of the preparation of nearly all boat sheets u.sed by the 
hydrographic and oyster-investigation parties, the construction of 9 projection sheets, 
and the plotting of 2,596 .sextant positions on the projections. Besides this drafting, 
the progress map was prepared for the lithographer, the boundaries of 91 natural oy.ster 
bars were plotted on the projections, the geographic positions of 361 corners of bars 
were .scaled off the sheets, and 1,083 distances to landmarks from corners of bars taken 
off the projections for u.se in checking computations. This work was done neatly and 
accurately, and represents a larger amount of labor than this statement would indicate. 

The great amount of necessary work required to prepare for publication the 4 
large scale charts of the natural oy.ster bars and the report containing the description of 
boundaries and landmarks to accompanj' charts, can be seen from an inspection of the 
charts and reports. 

SUMMARY. 

The results obtained from the work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in cooper- 
ation with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission need no other summary than is 
indicated by the published charts of the natural oyster bars and the scheme of 

330—07 -13

projections and triangulation shown on the progress map at the end of this report. 

The work completed will stand the test of time, and it will be recognized ulti- 
mately that both time and money have been saved by having the work done system- 
atically and accurately. 

The geographic positions of the permanent landmarks and signals have been 
determined with the usual preci.sion of a trigonometric survey, and their locations at 
all points neces.sary to provide ample foundation for the .surveying and charting oper- 
ations permitted great accuracy of definition and location for the natural oyster bar 
and other boundaries established. At the same time, the very important element of 
permanencj' of the positions of boundaries has been .secured, as the relocation of 
geodetic positions can always be accomplished by a competent surveyor, even though 
the original landmarks and monuments have been washed away, as has been the 
fate of hundreds of such points established by the Coast and Geodetic Survey on 
the shores of the Chesapeake Bay during the last sixty-five years. 

Before ending this report the representative of the Coast and Geodetic Survey 
deems it both desirable and natural to make a statement of appreciation of the ever 
courteous actions of everyone connected with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission" 
and of his colleague* from the Department of Conuuerce and Labor. This excellent 
relationship made true cooperation possible and aided greatlj' in the .successful accom- 
plishment of much work.
